Long Uninterested Poems

Thanksgiving, 1971,
a parachute pilgrim approaches Northwest Flight 305
as Dan Cooper, anonymous businessman,  anarchist airborne, 
black suit, black sunglasses, a black tie
and a black briefcase broaching black motives,
Portland to Seattle, prison or criminal pantheon, 
before...

A Debate

The Atheist
I see no reason for a god
Indeed for any type of god at all
I look around at all the churchmen
The pompous richly dressed ones
And wonder what their founder would have thought
And then at...

Faulkner's comment, I imagine him
tossing it off like Yogi Berra between games
of a doubleheader. The hero, the expert, the virtuoso
has no real control, is going to feel
unmitigated, unsparing forces, a mighty sun
swallowed by a black...

The Dream

On it’s  final journey – destination – a coma –
realization, a stagnant pool of reflections,
images on fun house mirrors –
surrealistic paintings
upon the walls of times passing,
it’s life diminishing, slowly, upon wings
of a sorrowful,...

2017
I fell in love. 
Never looked back 
It was all crystal clear

I wrote to my anonymous lover once
Or so I dreamt
A serenade to win his heart
But he was taken, he said
I was heartbroken! 

Unromantic is...

A welcome sight the lights ahead - like misty globules on ink black foam
The billboard elicits a sense of foreboding - Welcome to the Midnight Bazaar
A lack luster moon adds to the mystery – nervously...

Bewitched with irri-
tating glows,they ransacks the
purse and 'ijawo'; those rats!

Breaking news;
The Headline: "3 husky rats
ransacking the purse of the nation."
The news: As noted in the

news. We'll have to say this with
Annointed regret...

At peace perhaps too much
a fine Spring rain
we seek news from the desert or capitol
of those who have dedicated their lives to losing their lives for us
adventurers, ancient honor, land runners
this campaign a must to...

While traveling along an unfamiliar path
I was caught off guard by your beauty
I stopped the Jeep to get a closer look
But noticed The Master was still on duty

I pondered at your color and fullness
Wondering why...

Locked inside a triangle of thoughts for you
Remembering my days you painted them from blue
Reminiscing on the days of short memories we made
Feeling like our time - was jipped and played
I don't feel I had...

the bar is crowded
and the smoke tickles my nostrils
i sneeze a few times
then find a place in the front
the band is a joke
lead guitarist sticks to power chords
except the rare occasion
he noodles like an idiot...

The Tortured Cuckoo

Delivered-bewildered and confused, onto a foliage. No direction from those empowered to parent so  weak a fledgling.   Clawed and pecked for being, an easy release of pent-up frustration upon defenceless...

Black History Month is recognized almost everywhere;
I’d watch shows like Roots  but didn’t care.
Slaves sold from one master to another;
Separated from mother, father, sister and brother.
On the plantations picking cotton;
Praying to God they won’t...

Cancel the thoughts you were thinking, 
The pressure in this place can crush,
Gravity causes my soul to start sinking.
Red painted hearts with death around the crust.


I will never trust because i am aware,
Cowards can never...

I'm referred to as a normal & “complete” being, but somewhere hidden beneath 
the unseen tears is an empty hole threatening the very makings that define 
myself as a whole.
Nothing to society, but, “...taking up...

Cosmic dust of color, spread across the marble table,
where you, with sacred grace, draw esoteric circles,
watching me as I prepare the canvas for painting,
laughing softly, slipping your powdered finger into my ear,
like a secret sign...

Psychedelic Sound 
 
So you look at me and wonder why
I'm this kinda guy who doesn't even try
Seemingly I'm content to just get high

My complicated life had me down, upon my face, a grimacing, tormented frown.
When I looked up, what...

Imagine me as a book covered with dust,
A soul whose warmth for years remained untouched

Letters on every page were ill-defined, unclear
The essence was hidden in an ambiguous fear

Uninterested I was in the societal rigmarole,
Me and...

So secure and take charge
Six feet plus and he shows it all so well
And he keeps you looking
And you’re trying so hard to not let him catch you watching
